What I would disagree with is your portrayal of white people as nonracist. If you look at history, you will see that racism did not exist before white people invented it. White people invented the racism that unleashed the mass lynchings against blacks, the genocide against the Indians, the media denigration of Asians, and the numerous hate crimes that continue to take place against all racial minorities today.

Dig a little harder. Racism, slavery, etc existed long before white people practiced. Nearly every culture on this planet has practiced some type of slavery and prejudice. And don't forget the Egyptians who enslaved Hebrews, several thousand years ago.
Also, Egyptians were know to murder red-headed people who were reagarded as evil in their culture, if they ever happen to encounter one.
Ancient racism in India was the beginning of the Brahmin Caste System, in 1,500 B.C.
I am sure if you do your research you will find more.
Sure, America's past has it's dark times. There was slavery. Native Americans were treated badly. No one said it was ever a perfect time. But you need to remember that history is in the past. And you can't use that to fuel current everyday issues. You are so easy to point at "whites". It's always a "white" issue. Well racism stems beyond “whites”. Everyone one has some prejudice in them. Obviously you have prejudice against whites, to come here and single out “white” people and say terrible things about them.

See. You are so narrow-minded that all you can see is color. You are just as racist as those you accuse. You want to label everything as dark or light. Racism will not stop, until people just shut up about it. Talking about it just fuels everyone’s anger and gets people emotionally out of control over nothing. Then people start looking for a reason to blame someone else for the lack of perfect life they have.
So, if a white man shoots and kills a black man, it is racist. If a black man shoots and kills a white man it is justice. Why don’t you just say something like that instead?
